| Clancy's Rustic |
Very windy morning, with some migratory movement. A guillemot (perhaps the one seen recently?) flew out of the river and headed north. Some trickles of duck movement, with 12 scoter north and a handful of teal and wigeon south, with a single shoveler. Swallows continued to trickle through, though half the numbers recorded yesterday.
Mid morning a group of volunteers from the observatory helped the ranger take down the protective fence on the beach as the breeding season has ended. With a lot of hands, it was quick work, and a whinchat was recorded during the work.
The second emergence of Clancy's Rustic is now underway. Formerly a migrant it is now thought to live here in small numbers.
